Matilda
FROM SARAH:
The book that turned me into reader in the 3rd grade. I love this book! The audiobook is also especially well done, as is the movie.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Matilda is a sweet, exceptional young girl, but her parents think she's just a nuisance. She expects school to be different but there she has to face Miss Trunchbull, a menacing, kid-hating headmistress. When Matilda is attacked by the Trunchbull she suddenly discovers she has a remarkable power with which to fight back. It'll take a superhuman genius to give Miss Trunchbull what she deserves and Matilda may be just the one to do it!
